I'm seriously considering buying a set of the RBK Revoke, so could someone please help me understand what all this means (I wear RBK 8K gear at the moment, if that helps with the explanation):
Leg Pads:
Strap System Options: Standard Strap System, Single Strap System, Double Strap System - What are the differences?
Calf and Knee Protection Options: Standard, 3D, Calf Cradle, No Calf Cradle - What are these?
Knee Protection Options: Standard or Extended - Again, what are these?
Glove:
Cuff & Thumb: 1 Piece or 2 Piece - What is the difference?
Pocket Options: Offset - This is an offset 'T Trap' right?
Please help, I'd really appreciate an understanding of these.
Thanks

Standard Strap System is the adjustable strap system that is on the P3s, P2s, and your 8ks. The outside strap location can be placed at or below the knee. Look at the pad on the right.
Single Strap System is the "Fleury strapping". The outside top strap location is fixed above the knee and the lower outside knee strap is fixed at the knee. Look at the pad on the far right.
Double Strap System has the outside straps locations fixed at the knee, like on the one95s. Look at the pad on the right.
Standard Calf is the flat inner calf protection, like on the Premier 3s. Look at the pad on the left.
3D Calf is the inner calf protection on the Premier 2s and your 8ks. Instead of being flat, it is "3D". IT IS NOT CURRENT NHL LEGAL. Look at the pad on the left.
Calf cradle is a calf lock in the leg channel, like in the center picture. It will hold your calf/shin tighter to the pad.
No calf cradle has no calf lock. It is what you currently have on your 8ks. You can see it on the right pad in this picture.
I am not sure on the knee protection options, someone please chime in for me.
Onto the glove:
One piece cuff and thumb is like on the Premier 3.
Two piece cuff and thumb is like on the Premier 2 or your 8k glove. Notice there is a break where the cuff separates fromt the thumb.
I cannot find a picture of an offset tee, I am sure someone has a picture of one.
